San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove said the New York Mets' decision to call for a sticky substance check didn't affect him so much and understood why they did it.
Musgrove went seven innings and allowed just one hit. He became the first pitcher in MLB history to go seven or more innings of one-hit ball or less in a winner-take-all game."I don’t have much to say about it. At the point of the game when it happened, I was so dialed in already. All my pitches felt good. Felt like I was executing, so it was almost just kinda lit a fire under me. They came out and told me Buck wanted to check my face, my glove, my hat.
Showalter told reporters he was doing what he thought was best for the team and made the decision to check for sticky substances based on the information he had in the dugout. "I’m charged with doing what’s best for the New York Mets," Showalter explained."If it makes me look however it makes me look or whatever, I’m going to do it every time and live with the consequences. I’m not here to hurt somebody’s feelings. I’m going to do what’s best for our players and the New York Mets. I felt like that was best for us right now. There’s some pretty obvious reasons why it was necessary.
